2020

Hi John, We have spent the past week looking back on 2019. Today, we are looking ahead to 2020. It is not an understatement to say 2020 stands to be a turning point in our democracy, in our country’s history, in our world. We will be facing what some are calling the most important e…

Looking back on an amazing year

Hi John, I cannot believe it has been almost a year since Jahana was sworn into office. What a year it has been... What has made me most proud this year is seeing Jahana lead and legislate with the same heart, courage of conviction, and integrity that founded her campaign. While cam…

Reflections on the year

John, it has been a busy year but time has flown by! It is hard to imagine that it has been nearly a year since Jahana was sworn into office. This year was full of daily reminders of what hard work can accomplish. Together, we built a grassroots movement that heard the voices of the…

With the year winding down, I hope you are taking some time to enjoy your family and friends this holiday season. It has been an incredible year and I am incredibly grateful as I reflect on the past 365 days – however, I know the work is only just beginning. In 2020, let’s work toge…

John, As we approach the end of the year, my team and I are taking a moment to step back and reflect on a transformative and challenging year. We passed legislation to save lives from gun violence, to reduce the cost of prescription drugs, to make health care more affordable, to rai…

7 years

Today marks seven years since the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Like many, I will never forget where I was and what I felt that morning. I was serving jury duty. When the news broke, we were all quickly dismissed. I immediately raced back to my school so I could be with m…

Asking for your input

John, we wrote to you last month about the work Jahana is doing in Congress to reduce the cost of prescription drugs. She has introduced legislation to improve the Medicare enrollment process and lower out-of-pocket costs. She is also supporting H.R. 3,  the Lower Drug Costs Now Act…

Hi John, OK. So I’m borrowing here. My recipe is really the recipe of a certain well-known lifestyle/homegoods guru. But let’s be honest: the woman knows what she’s doing in the kitchen. Why would I mess with that? Plus, I’ve been using this recipe ever since I took over Thanksgivin…
